Once it was off, my head felt weak, heavy, tight and my range of motion(ROM) was limited, (again all normal), but it felt really good to have it off, my neuro had me start physio in June where they started working on my ROM(looking up,down,left and right), posture stretches, ultra sound and laser therapy etc... Watching your posture is important, If you have benefits thur your employer see what it covers you for physio. Everyone heals differently so its hard to say how long it takes.
Take care, Bunz

I've had so much physio my benefits must be running low
Oh well, I'll do whatever it takes to regain my strength. My return to work date has been set for June 22nd so I have lots of recovery time. I had planned to start walking, however if you can believe it we received 15cm of snow this morning and we could get an additional 15 (6") today!! Good news is; it's suppose to warm up to 10c (50f)
